A/N : I have had someone ask me for a little sneak peek into the lives of Brad and Leila. I wanted the story to have an open ending but i do not want to disappoint anyone who wants to read my go on it, so here we are.
When I left my life behind because of that man i thought i would never find love for the second time. But then again life is full of surprises. You get what you deserve and i did, so did Brad. After wasting two years of my life, burying myself in work, I decided i deserved a second chance. It seemed bizarre when i saw other people do it but experiencing it first hand was refreshing. I mean, I had nothing to lose anyway. So i quit my job, packed the last bit of my life in a bag and left. I had no idea where i was going when I stepped out of the house, but i had spent most of my life doing nothing that i needed this real bad. I spent the following week on the road to Canada and i had never felt happier.
Meeting new people on the way made me realize that i had never had an experience that was just mine. When I started opening up to people i realized i had a lot in common with them than I thought, especially knowing that those people were strangers and i would never cross paths with them again. I made a lot of friends travelling around the world but the best thing i gained from that was my husband, Leo. I met him on my way to Istanbul and we instantly clicked. He is is a travel photographer, he had a rough start in life so we understood each other in a way no one could. He had seen all parts of me, even the ones i myself didn't want to look back at, he knew every detail of my life and i knew his. I never felt judged by him, i never felt insecure about myself the way i did around Brad all the time. I never had to change a single thing about myself when i met him. And that is how it is supposed to be like. Love. When it is there you just simply feel it, of course there are times where you might need a little reassurance but that is also a part of it.
When i was with Brad i did not realize how toxic it actually was. He somehow had complete control over my life, there were so many red flags i had ignored just to feel loved by a man for once in my life. My whole life revolved around him, but it should not have been that way. I should not have made him my life, your partner,your friends, your work or anything else, just that one thing should not be your life. It should be a part of my life.
But Karma is indeed a Bitch. I saw his whole life fall apart from the other side of the world. Shortly after i left, the rumors about Brad being involved in some illegal business started and i was honestly not surprised at all. He got into drugs and and lost all he had, his girlfriend did not stick along for a second, but i could care less.
I had everything i ever wanted. A happy family. My daughter Liz turned two a week ago and there was nothing else in this world that i could possibly wish for more than this. Leo and I did not waste much time of our lives, we got married six months after we met. Some might say it was way too quick but i would say it was meant to be. We are currently in Nepal but we did buy a house back in the States, just in case if Liz grew up and said she wanted to go home, there would be a home.
